Triple Threat

By

Two years ago, I'll Have Another (Flower Alley) had the Triple Crown at his mercy going into the GI Belmont S., only for injury to intervene and force his retirement less than 72 hours before his scheduled coronation. I think California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) faces a much tougher task this year. Though he has not been fully extended in either the GI Kentucky Derby or GI Preakness S., that mile and a half is uncharted territory for all of them, and it looks like as many as eight other 3-year-olds of pretty reasonable quality will be in opposition, including the 2-4-5 finishers from the Derby, the second and third home in the Preakness, and the one-two place- getters in Belmont's GII Peter Pan S. earlier this month.
